186948p. Original printed wraps, stained along the top edge. Publisher's advertisement on the rear wrap. 8vo. Contains a listing of the names of those unfortunate 600, and makes a strong case to refute the notion that Confederate prisoners were well treated by the Union Army. Very scarce. Howes D-577b. Always pro-Union, Alan Nevins describes this only as "An early example of Southern-style prison propaganda; basically a diatribe against Union officers and Negro guards." - Civil War Books I-190. John J. Dunkle of the 25th Virginia Infantry, this bitter invective. Included in his story is this commentary on the character of the guard unit: "Our guard consisted of one hundred Ohio Militia, commanded by two lieutenants. They are just as mean and ruthless as Yankees generally were, exhibiting all that villainy and cowardice so peculiar to Yankee soldiers, especially militia, who had never been in the front of battle. They offered many indignant insults to our honor and cause. Most of them were Ohio fops." I don't think that it has been previously commented upon that this publisher is usually identified with books that appealed to German-Americans, especially Mennonites. It would be very interesting to research John Dunkle's background. Was he one of the battling Mennonites? Along with this goes two nice articles about the 600 Confederate Officers 'Imprisoned Under Fire' in reach of Confederate guns, on Morris Island, South Carolina by Federal Major General John G. Foster. The Immortal Six Hundred were to serve as human shields in front of the Union Batteries at the siege of Charleston. A remarkable incident of the Civil War, written and told by a German-American Confederate. SCARCE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! Front case 2 L
